It is possible to change from dark to light in 8.1 stock?
Yes it is managed automatically according to your wallpaper
There's some Xposed module to force it to dark
You can use substratum to have a even more stylish look than default white/dark
What is Substratum?

Substratum is theme engine which you can use to apply themes with or without root, you can find it on Google Play. If you dont have root, you need additional app called Andromeda which allows you to install themes without root using ADB.

I am currently on MIUI-MM on my Kenzo as I needed working VoLTE .
But MIUI only allows to theme system elements and all other elements remain unthemed. (GAPPs, Whatsapp, Browser etc).
For testing, I installed Substratum and found it working fine for most of the supported applications.
Please note to skip system applications from theming. And as Substratum is working in legacy mode in MIUI MM, phone needs to be restarted after applying theme.
Some screenshots attached from MIUI MM.
Nice find

Install "Substratum" from playstore.
You can also find themes in playstore. Search for "substarum themes"
* your phone must be rooted to use this.

Which (dark) themes work in Legacy mode?
Ah,nevermind got it after checking the screenshots. But in Play Store it shows "not compatible with your device version". I did try to obtain it elsewhere but package parsing error occurred. How do I get it?
Great find dude...!!

You need root to work, it's because many elements are located in protected or un reached places with no root privilages.
Try to root your phone, or use Magisk to hide root (or XPOSED as there is MIUI v9 version).
To OP
Thanks dude, it's a perfect find, I have RN4 too, and it's pleasure to hear that substratum themes are working fine in in-app environment.

I'm on MIUI-MM too, but when I try to download the substratum theme engine (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum) Google Play shows no compatible devices. Did you sideload it, or am I looking at the wrong app?
How to install Substratum Themes on MI A1???
You'll need Root if you on 7.1.2, but when Oreo update arrive, we can use Substratum Rootless+Andromeda

You have to be rooted.
Install substratum apk.
Install some theme apk and try to apply it in substratum, be careful it's possible to get bootloop.

it says substratum legacy.. i just installed it on google play store.. i cant get any theme to work. and i have stock rom with rooted magisk..
it says RRO2 (legacy)
Should work. Do you use any Magisk modules for substratum? Like for example there is a module called Substratum Systemless and I don't think that will work

Well I had an Xperia phone and substratum was working on that, and unlike A1 that was a custom Android ROM made by Sony. Be sure you install Legacy versions of themes and you don't use any substratum related magisk modules ( look again and make sure that module is disabled)

how?
Are there any alternatives to substratum theming on Oreo? The Andromeda and substratum package is a little too buggy for me , and constantly requires you to connect your phone to a PC upon reboot.
Thanks guys

I've used Substratum too but had problems with the battery, don't know why.
Anyway, i've discovered theme Galaxy on play store (can't link right now) and it lets you customize your phone pretty much.
I use ThemeGalaxy from the app store.

Hey guys, as you know google is using a blue accent color for their system UI, sadly (IMO) essential is using a green accent and i would love to change this.
maybe someone knows how to change this accent color somewhere, maybe in the build prop or in the system.ui itself?
i attached a screenshot of which parts of the system ui i mean, its the notifcation area.
hoping for some usefull answers
EDIT: Simple as that, just use an substratum theme (pixel theme in my case)
Substratum works on 9?
Sai theme pie from telegram is the best subs theme
does it require root? In oreo Sai's theme worked without root.

Magisk and install the pixel experience module
Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.treydev.pns
Also note....don't build the initial Sai with Navigation selected. Do the Settings, quick settings, UI etc..but don't select Navigation..anytime I've done that, then rebooted the first time, bootloop.
Then, once you enable it in the manager, go back and select Navigation and build/enable it in the Themes section. Then, reboot and it will magically change you quick tile settings to the black/blue color. Found this method out experimenting, on the latest beta/build as well on Pie. You shouldn't have to go into Manager and select Navigation, it will be gold in color, different from the others, but it will be enabled and working on the quick tiles.
Good luck.
We have a mod coming out to change the accents..stay tuned

Not possible no matter what without root. U could manually install the files while rooted,then unroot and it will be there but why....
Hello all!
I wanted to know if anyone had any luck with Substratum via root?
I was reading about the theming engine and there was some article that states that Razer only allows signed themes to be applied.
In short Substratum will not work.
Has anyone had any luck with it?
Thanks!
Are you referring to this?
https://www.xda-developers.com/custom-themes-android-oreo-substratum/
Says it doesn't need root.
Substratum won't work on the RP2 much like it doesn't on the RP1 due to the theme engine already installed.

Okay then I raise you this question.. How can one uninstall / disable / delete the stock theme engine?
I'd be much happier with stock android colors, and dark theme. None of this green accent bull.

Unnecessary, so long as you are rooted. Use Smali Patcher with the "signature spoofing" flag enabled and you will be able to use Substratum without having to do anything to the Theme Store aside from disabling any themes you have applied through it. Note that you will not be able to cleanly theme the Settings app on the stock ROM.
